C. Nevertheless, we adhere to the principle that there is never too much security, and we suggest that you do not postpone the inevitable duty for too long. The winter period is also a time of outdoing tire manufacturers and great tests of new models. The ADAC test results will appear in September 2016, but we already know a few models that may be the favorites.

The most new products appear in the world of premium tires. And here comes the Continetal brand with a fresh product, carrying the ContiWinterContact TS860 model. The tire tread itself is very similar to the predecessor TS850 , known for its excellent results and driving characteristics.
